NADA Miami 2022

From the artist:

“While sorting through boxes in my studio, I came across this stack of prints, all imperfect or physically damaged from being hung in previous exhibitions. Unable to figure out what to do with them, they sat on my table for months, constantly being shuffled, until I decided to photograph them in their current state. Seeing them all together in a photograph made them feel complete, and infinitely more powerful. Photography is beautiful in that way. It gives a new life to things, a reincarnation of sorts. Like these photographs, as well as the puzzle pieces they’re printed on, we too are connected; only strengthened by our proximity to others, and a small but important part of something much larger.”

This photograph is also the artwork for Sethi’s NYABF 2022 ticket edition, printed as a 1,762 piece puzzle. Each Opening Night attendee received one piece of this puzzle.
